Elitetrack: Sport Training & Conditioning

Today im going to have an easy day, probably just a swim, and do some short speed work tommorow.

Ok on Friday i did a speed session: 300m in 38:25, 200m in 24:68, 150m in 18 flat. 5 minutes recovery between sprints. Each with two-trees steps before starting.

Saturday: raced: 100m B grade: first ever 100, came third in 12:29.
Then 400m A grade: first ever 400, came third in 53:48.
Then 200m (in the rain!!!!!!) A grade: came third in 24:48.

All three of them are pbs. felt shit at night, quite tired etc but didnt get to sleep till 230 am.

Today feel tired and got a bit of a headache, might have a day off.

shot, nice start to the season, those times should only get faster, and whats more you've come from an endurance background so your looking pretty sweet for the 800m later in the season.

thanks heaps man. racing an 800m and a 200m this saturday so il see how they go.

tday iv got a hell of a lot of study to do, im not sure how much training i will get to do. but hopefully hill repetitions on these stairs.

Btw i think i am doing a 5km fun run tommorow, just for a bit of fun. easier to do it in a race than by myself.

One serious headache came on this arvo, im not sure what from though. haven't been sleeping much due to exams, could be from that. needed the day off today, but spent about two hours walking all over the show (i.e. procrastinating).

still got the headache bad today. lots of study to do, friken exam tommorow and the next day. for the next three years i am going to race the 200m, then for the three years after that run the 400m, then the 800m for the four years after that, to be ready for the 2016 Olympics.

so here is my plan for the 2006-2007 track season.

Monday: Short speed work, 50-150m.
Tuesday: Weights, plyos, core work.
Wednesday: Speed endurance, 150-400m.
Thursday: Weights, plyos, core work.
Friday: Starts.
Saturday: Racing/time trials.
Sunday: Aerobic run, weights, core work and plyos.

Today (in between studying) did a gym session, warmed up with core work followed by:

Bench press
Incline bench press
Lateral pull down
Military press
Bicep curls

all 3 sets of 10 reps.

and doing the 100m, 200m, 400m again this weekend. should be fun lol. the boys tried to talk me into doing the 800 as well…what do you guys reckon???

btw i was joking about racing that 800, i think i would die lol.

Today had an exam, got another one tommorow.

Just core work today.

Cant wait for the 9th of november… exams will be over. actually proper training will resume as of friday because i will have these two major exams out of the way.

then i will be back and running again properly.

i think i look pretty lazy from this training log lol.

Did some stretching before bed. I kind of stretch like a dog. if i feel tight somewhere i will stretch it out. like my back and my hips etc. but usually i don't do too much. today i have another exam. so tonight i will do a weights session, mainly lower body, plus my core work.
